ArcGIS Pro can connect to Geosoft Geoscience Data (DAP) portals. The Geosoft Portals screen can be accessed by clicking on the Manage Geosoft Portals button on the Geosoft Tools ribbon. The dialog provides tools to add, edit and remove portal connections, to set an active portal and test portals availability. Connections can be added, set to active, removed, and edited from the Geosoft Portals page in ArcGIS Pro.
All valid portals connections can be accessed in the Find Geoscience Data browser launched when the Find Geoscience Data button on the Geosoft Tools ribbon is pressed. Changing the Current portal selection will allow you to connect to either the Geosoft's Public DAP Server or a privately hosted server and launch its corresponding portal. The data hosted on the server will then be available for search, view and download.
To add a new portal connection, click the Add Portal button and in the Add Geosoft Portal dialog, specify the URL of your Geosoft portal. Click OK and the new portal address will be added to the list of existing Geosoft Portals.
The default portal when you click Find Geoscience Data in the Add to Map section of the Target tab, is Geosoft's Public DAP Portal (https://dap.geosoft.com/gdp). To connect to a different portal by default, simply right click on the corresponding Geosoft Portal entry and select Set as Active Portal.
If the URL address of a portal you added needs to be updated, select the Geosoft Portal entry and right click Edit Portal Connection. In the Add Geosoft Portal dialog specify the new server URL of your portal. Click OK and the updated URL will be reflected in the list of Geosoft Portals.
Test the portal/ server connectivity by right clicking Test Availability on the Geosoft Portal entry. Note that the availability is automatically tested every time a portal connection is added or updated and every time Geosoft Portals is opened. An unsuccessful connection to a server that is not available will automatically load the Geosoft's Public DAP Portal (https://dap.geosoft.com/gdp) in the Find Geoscience Data browser.
